Giving Up
We were walking outside on a sunny day,
You said "I wanna tell you something important."
I couldn't tell what you were going to say,
Even though a bird tried to tell me.
It was singing such a sad sweet song,
That it brought a tear to my eye,
But I never suspected wrong,
'Til you turned to me and said "Good-bye."
CHORUS: And just as I thought I had you figured out,
I thought the summer'd last, but the rain comes down.
And before this moment I'd no reason to doubt,
I try to hold back but the tears come down.
And you hurt me then and you hurt me now,
I saw no hourglass, but our time is up.
And I'd try to win you back if I only knew how,
I don't care anymore, I guess I've given up.
All that I had was invested in you,
I was everything you wanted, and more.
But I guess you had no clue,
Just who all my efforts were for.
(CHORUS)
You took my heart, and severed it from my soul,
I can not feel anything that you say.
You found my weakness, the wound a gaping hole,
So then I thought, "Who needs you anyway?"
(CHORUS 2X)
